Carbone's will be closing at 8:00pm on Saturday, July 18, 2015 so that our staff and patrons can enjoy the Saint Bartholomew Church of Crabtree's Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Festival fireworks that begin at 10:30pm.

Due to the number of festival patrons that will be coming to see the fireworks, Carbone's Restaurant the the Crabtree Volunteer Fire Department have developed a system to ensure that the restaurant patrons have ample parking while they enjoy their meal.

Of course, you may decide to donate your your $5. The donations will benefit the Crabtree Volunteer Fire Department to support their hard work ensuring the safety of the residents of Crabtree and the surrounding local communities. — at Carbone's Restaurant.
